For Kubuntu, the DM we use for several releases is LightDM, so that's not quite accurate. I see that there's now a work item to create a daily build system for Mesa, so I guess we'll start to find out how invasive it is shortly: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1303-mir-xorg From today's update to the spec: + [raof] make a bzr project of mesa & xorg/xmir in order to help feed daily packaging (or provide explaination why we cannot...git only ??): TODO Scott K -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
